Tree Crown Lifting
Lower Branches are removed to effectively raise the crown, which is the whole branch structure of the tree. This is a very useful treatment of large garden trees where shading is a problem, as the light can come in underneath the tree.
Proper Crown Lifting Procedure
When crown lifting trees, the large primary branches that grow directly from the trunk should be left. Removing them creates large wounds that can lead to decay.
Crown lifting mature and older trees should be restricted to the secondary branches. This reduces recovery time and minimises stress for the trees. As recommended by the British standard for tree works BS3998:2010, crown lifting should be restricted to no more than 50% of the crown’s height. This leaves the crown at least two thirds of the tree’s total height.

Erin Pugh (Ladyvip87)13. September, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Aston and his team were fantastic from start to finish. They were polite, friendly, and really helpful throughout the whole process. They arrived on time, carried out the work efficiently, and made sure everything was left neat and tidy. It was a pleasure dealing with such a reliable and hardworking team—I’d happily recommend them to anyone who needs a tree surgeon. Richard Paterson9. September, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional and very experienced tree and hedge services. They cut our hedges and took on a huge diseased Ash at the end of our garden. This was felled in a very restricted area for space and they managed to do the job to a high standard with minimal disruption to the rest of the garden. The clearing up was perfect and communication from Aston was accurate and timely. A very friendly team who clearly know how to manage the biggest of tasks. We would highly recommend them Martin5.
